300+ Prophecies About Jesus

People ask, “What will happen in the future?”

They ask about future prophecies.

Rather than future prophecies, this site focuses on prophecies that have already been fulfilled.

Jesus will return in the Second Coming, even so come Lord Jesus, but this site does not focus on those prophecies.

The prophecies about Jesus Christ were spoken by different people with different callings in life…priest, king, shepherd, as well as prophet.  These individuals lived in different places at different times in history.  After the fall of Adam and Eve, the Lord God himself sovereignly gave the first prophecy in Genesis 3:15.

Genesis 3:15  (KJV) And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

 

The requirements for a true prophet were strict.

Deuteronomy 18:20  But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.

Deuteronomy 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

 

These prophecies were fulfilled in one person, Jesus Christ.  The prophecies range from where He was to be born (Bethlehem) to how He  would live to how He died for the redemption of mankind.

I Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

 

A discussion of prophecy and fulfillment falls under the mathematical category of probability.

There are probably many in the financial or academic or corporate world who would disdain to purchase a lottery ticket, knowing that the stakes are against them.  Lottery tickets usually only involve a few numbers, perhaps up to six or seven.

Yet the odds are far greater, and the risk not money, but eternity and heaven, when ignoring the 300+ prophecies regarding Jesus.

There are those who will eagerly look at the probability of the direction of the stock market, or commodities, and put credence to crunching those numbers and trajectories.

Probability is probability.  If the mathematics of probability is to be believed in one area, then it should also be applied in the area of the prophecies regarding Jesus Christ.  And if the prophecies, under honest examination, prove themselves to be true, which they do, then the claims of Christ must be believed.

To refuse to believe in probability because the topic is Christ, rather than the stock market, is to indicate that the issue of reluctance to believe is not mathematical probability, but something else.

The way true prophets knew what was going to happen was because of their obedience to God, they had a strong connection and relationship to God,  and could hear the Lord’s voice.

The format for each blog post is this.  The prophecy, as given in the Old Testament, comes first.  The fulfillment of that prophecy in the life of Jesus Christ, as given in the New Testament, is listed second.

Because there are so many prophecies, it will be several years before they are all posted on this site (this is being written in 2020), as they are being posted at the rate of one a week.  Keep coming back.

Again, the important thing to realize is that which the Bible itself says about prophecies.  Many prophecies in the Old Testament already have been fulfilled in Jesus Christ, there are many prophecies that already have come to pass.  There are some connected to the Second Coming of Jesus that are in the process of being fulfilled, but we don’t need to wait for all the prophecies to be fulfilled to realize that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.  Enough has already been spoken from Moses, the law and the prophets for us to understand that.

Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Genesis 3:15 (KJV) And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

 

Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

God Will Raise Up a Prophet

Tissot – Moses and the Ten Commandments

Deuteronomy 18:15 (KJV) The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

 

Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

 

Your Throne, O God, Is Forever and Ever

Psalm 45:6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

 

Hebrews 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
